About Me

My name is Maddie Ford and I am a Junior at The Ohio State University. I am an English major with a specialization in Writing, Rhetoric and Literacy and I am minoring in Professional Writing. During the semester, I work as a tutor at the Writer’s Studio in between classes. I encourage students to be creative with their papers and find ways to enjoy writing. On the weekends, I have the great pleasure of working in the fast food industry. I have many diverse interests that keep me busy and exploring the world. I am interested in fiction writing and would like to one day publish a book of my own. Recently, I have taken up drawing and painting. I garden in my spare time and practice archery.

I have spent most of my academic career in college reading other authors and writing various things such as: poetry, critical essays, memos, marketing proposals, budgets and social media mockups. Writing can be used to bring about change and inspire people to do great things. Each class teaches me a new way writing can influence the world and how the world influences writing. I want to take what I have learned out into the professional realm and discover how I can apply these new skills and give back to the community. Finding a place for my talents and interests is my long-term goal. In the future, I hope to find a career that is creative and not soul crushing.
